Abstract
Ordering of cations is important for controlling properties of ABO3 perovskites, and CaFeFeNbO6 is the first example of an Fe-based AA'BB'O6 double double perovskite, with Ca2+/Fe2+ ordered on A-site columns, and Fe3+/Nb5+ at the octahedral B-sites. Substantial (37%) antisite disorder of the latter cations leads to spin glassy magnetism below a freezing transition at 12 K. The CaMnFeNbO6 analogue also shows substantial cation disorder and spin glassy behaviour. Comparison of synthesis pressures for ordered materials based on different A-site transition metals, suggests that pressures of at least 14-18 GPa will be required to discover the expected plethora of double double perovskites based on A' cations smaller than Mn2+.
